North Stars to open season Friday in Kindersley
The Battlefords North Stars will kick off their regular season Friday night in Kindersley, versus the Klippers — the division rivals.
Friday’s game will be the first of a back-to-back between the North Stars and Klippers to open the season. It’s a tradition dating back to the start of the 2012-13 season.
Over the last eight years, the North Stars have swept the opening two-game series four times, while Kindersley swept it three times. Just one was a 1-1 weekend split.
When the Stars take to the ice Friday it will be the first time in nearly 240 days since their last meaningful hockey game.
